President Obama Artwork

My dear friend and Artist, Dan Wooster, has created this amazing likeness of our new President. I can say that I have never had a picture of a president in my house but with my Obama obsession, this new art piece thrilled me. Dan is known for his large pieces, usually 5ft by 3ft and larger. This piece is 11inches tall and 7 inches wide. It is painted on 1 inch thick wood which gives it a slight 3-D effect. Each one is slightly different, but Dan captures the President's likeness, suberbly. These will be limited edition pieces, so hurray and get yours today. You can call Dan at 818 398-2064 to order your piece.

CS Studio Closed (for now)

Last month, after 10 years, we closed our beloved photography rental studio. It was kinda of hard to finally walk away, I loved having my own studio to work out of, but it was time to make a change. I remember when we (my 2 friends Mirenda and Nathan) first came to Los Angeles 10 years ago, I had a vague idea of having a photo rental studio, but knew nothing about what it would entail. I have always been a learn as you go kind of person and after lots of trial and error, it wasn't long before we (Mirenda helped me manage the studio) had a great space. In the first 5 years we did lots of parties, art gallery shows, small movies, documentaries, castings....you name it. It was a blast and everyone loved using and working in our space.

In the second 5 years, I concentrated more on providing a space for photography photo shoots. It went by fast and before I new it the lease was up. I decided that I would like to own my next space so we decided to close and take a break. I can say that it is a relief but I am really missing my own space to work in. Luckily, there are a lot of good rental spaces available so now I can be a customer.......

Here are a few images that show our studio memories from the last 10 years.......
